whats the worst pain youve ever been in??

Answer 1

once while i was raking hay, i had to go under an apple tree to gather a swath of downed hay. suddenly, i had excrutiating pain in my right eye! it was so bad i shoved the tractor out of gear and holding my eye, just jumped to the ground leaving 'old nellie belle' running. i knew that there was a house across the feild, about 200 yards away, but didn't know the people who lived there. it didn't matter...i ran to the house, stopping once to throw up in the field. without knocking, i burst inside and hollered,"help! i've something in my eye!" a woman came and excorted me to her bathroom. she sat me down and tried to get me to open my eye so she could look. i couldn't let her, the pain was so bad i was feeling dizzy, like i was going to faint and with her reaching toward me the dizziness seemed worse. finally, with my hands shaking, i pried my own eye open, looked in the mirror and saw what looked like a little string in the corner of my eye. i got ahold of it and pulled. i could feel the string unwrapping in circles from behind my eye! it was making me gag but i kept pulling. when i finally got the stringy thing out it was well over a foot long! after inspecting it closely, we determined it was a spider's web! all that 'bug-stopping juice' or whatever a spider puts on their webs, had made my eye so red, it looked like it was bleeding. i have given birth to three children, am active enough to have experienced lots of "boo-boo's" and not one has ever come close to the pain of 'spider spit' in my eye!

Answer 2

Physical or psychological? Physically, two of the most painful conditions I've had have been. Pleurisy - only hurts if you breathe! Chronic and acute pancreatitis, that is really painful. The main treatment is to stop eating, rest the pancreas. In fact when I had acute pancreatitis, I couldn't drink for a couple of days or eat. Everything went in to a vein. Liquids in to my arms - with other stuff like minerals, antibiotics. the liquid food went in to a line into my jugular vein in my chest. It's very worrying when they cut that open - you expect blood to gush everywhere at any time. But it didn't. I actually watched the surgery on a monitor - an x-ray monitor. Strangely, pain from injuries isn't so bad. Usually it only hurts if you move. When I broke my hip. I couldn't walk and had to wear anto-embolism socks to stop me getting a blood clot. They gave me a bunion. Hell, bunions hurt, they just throb - 24 hours a day, even while you sleep. But if you really want to see someone in pain, then cancer often causes the worst pain. Not neccesarily though. It can strangely enough be relatively pain free and deadly too. But, it's bad to see someone you care about on a morphine driver - pumping morphine in to them and a cocktail of other drugs. Knowing there is nothing you can do to help them. That is probably one of the worst types of psychological pain - watching a loved one suffer and knowing they will die. Dealing with chronic physical pain for many years also brings with it psychological pain. So you get both and any additional stress makes it worse too. That is why in Western society and in the UK in particular. Stress, is a major problem. Healthy people have too much time off work through stress. People with chronic illness need additional treatment because of the stress. The source of additional stress for most chronically sick people is money problems and bureaucracy. We add daily to the ill health of the Nation with such things as "call centres", voice mail, 0845 telephone numbers (always a prat on the other end or a computer programmed by a prat). Politicians, are hell bent on change and not always for the welfare of the citizens. People don't usual like change. Unless it's evolutionary in nature. Nature evolves and it's a very efficient system of change. Improving what you have is a good idea. Buying a multi-billion pound computer for the NHS isn't as good as evolving the one you have. In other words; the worse pain is that which is avoidable; but you can't avoid. The bloody spell checker has given up on me again!

Answer 3

The worst pain that I have ever had was what I thought was a migraine at first but turned out to be viral meningitis. It is a kind of pain in the head that hurts all over, your feel that you are in a really bad nightmare where someone is torturing you by putting red hot pokers into you brain. You have the feeling of hot needles being placed into the ends of your fingers and the soles of your feet. It is the worst pain that I would never wish upon anybody.... not even my very worst enemy.

Answer 4

I broke my ankle last year and had an operation to set it, which didn't quite work, so I had to have another! When I came round from that I wanted to scream but I couldn't and I couldn't move either and that was scary. I think I was in so much pain because they might have had to break my bones again to set them right.
When the staples came out of the wound I cried like a baby in the plaster room and I am 26.
It then got infected and I had to go back in and have IV antibiotics and after about 3 doses my veins wouldn't be able to take it and I would be crying again. I came out of hospital with huge red sores all over my arms.

That was horrible.

I don't think I could ever have kids, the pain just wouldn't be worth it.

Answer 5

Hit in the eye by a plastic pellet, it mashed it right up cutting the lens cornea and iris a 10mm laceration across the front. The degree of pain when it happened lasted for 8 months 24/7 I had 10 stitches across the front of it which I could feel every time I blinked.

Answer 6

I fell in a campfire when I was three and nobody noticed until a few minutes later. I got burned on the backs of my legs and on the butt. We were in the woods and had over an hour drive to a hospital, and I couldn't sit down. The doctors had to scrape all the burned tissue off before they could try to fix it. I was so little, but I'll never forget that pain.

Answer 7

I've been pretty lucky so far - no broken bones, nothing like that.

But the worst pain I've suffered to date was having a contraceptive coil fitted (I've never had kids so it makes it worse). I nearly leapt off the table!!!! It leaves you with stomach cramps and bleeding for a few days afterwards too. Shudder.....

Had it removed years later and was dreading it. Much easier coming out though!

Answer 8

Worst physical pain for me personally is when I had gallstones. During the night, after a meal, when they decided to cause pain, it was agony. No position is comfortable. Had my gallbladder removed now and all is well, but wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.

Answer 9

Accute sinusitis. I spent three days screaming and rolling around in agony. I have had a lot of nasty injuries, diseases and medical proceedures over the years but this was 10 times worse than anything else - I would have killed myself to end the agony except the pain was too great for me to be able to concentate enough to walk to get anything I could kill myself with.

Answer 10

I've had kidney stones 3 times.

Apparently it's the male version of childbirth.

It's hard to compare it to anything but imagine someone hitting your lower back constantly to a heart beat for seven hours non-stop. It's bearable to start with, but it gets terrible. Every now and a gain you get a period of massive hits. There is no position you can put yourself in to ease the pain.
I remember asking the hospital to get rid of the pain or kill me :)
